501   Tis the Blessed Hour of Prayer




[1]
Tis the blessed hour of prayer when our hearts lowly bend
And we gather to Jesus our Savior and Friend;
If we come to Him in faith His protection to share
What a balm for the weary!
O how sweet to be there!

Tis the blessed hour of prayer when the Savior draws near
With a tender compassion His children to hear;
When He tells us we may cast at His feet every care
What a balm for the weary!
O how sweet to be there!

Tis the blessed hour of prayer when the tempted and tried
To the Savior who loves them their sorrows confide;
With a sympathizing heart He removes every care;
What a balm for the weary!
O how sweet to be there!

At the blessed hour of prayer trusting Him we believe
That the blessings we re needing we ll surely receive;
In the fullness of this trust we shall lose every care;
What a balm for the weary!
O how sweet to be there!
